For my crew: Kanen, Mira, and Izzy.

You are my reason.

Special love goes out to Charlotte Centrella, my Nonie. You have been my inspiration, motivation, and guru. You showed me that positivity and accountability are at the core of what makes a good human. Your unconditional love, support, honesty, and faith have saved me on more occasions than I care to admit. You are my rock. My OG. My crew.

I love you, Nonie.

And to my Auntie Maria: You were my very first editor starting when I was thirteen years old. You encouraged me to write stories even though I could hardly read or write, and I certainly couldnt spell! From day one youve been the greatest supporter of my attempts at writing. I am forever in your debt.

REAL-LIFE TESTIMONIALS

The #HBRMethod changed and completely remodeled my life and future. In the beginning I didnt know what to expect, and to be honest I was skeptical of the results and my commitment to follow through with homework assignments. At the time, the life I was living was not the life I wanted. My marriage was falling apart and because of the high anxiety in the house, my child was suppressing her speech. After reading the first chapter, BOOM! Things felt different; I felt different. I still struggled with making decisions I knew were inevitable. Then a chapter regarding courage came. This hashtag will forever be imprinted in my brain! #CourageOverFear! I jumped, and what a beautiful journey unfolded. I pursued my dream of becoming a photographer and am now living that dream every day. By changing our situation, my daughter started speaking and is surrounded by nurturing family and friends. Reading this one chapter, I evolved, changed, created this new person and environment full of positivity and pure bliss. I AM HAPPY. I AM FREE!

Hustle Believe Receive and the #HBRMethod helped me change my stubborn, negative mindset. In applying the steps I achieved self-worth, gratitude, and peace of mind. I loved the creativity of your book; the hashtags, soundtracks, definitions, and the stories made it easier to adapt the steps in daily life. This book helped me rediscover myself and realize that I already have a beautiful life. I am in love with this book!

It is difficult for me to put into words how completely this book and the #HBRMethod have changed my life. While I have always been interested in self-improvement and have seen some results in the past, I was never able to achieve the level of success that I wanted. Sarah has identified the missing pieces of the puzzle and put together a step-by-step plan that quickly gets results! My wins started smallfinding cash in my pocket and getting a gift card in the mailbut eventually, I manifested the perfect employment situation, which was exactly as I had visualized! I credit following the #HBRMethod with getting these results, and they are available to anyone who is willing to put in the time and work (#TheHustle).

When I first started reading Hustle Believe Receive I was stuck at a crossroads. I wasnt really sure what I wanted for my career and my future. I had stopped dreaming and I had zero motivation. After the first chapter, my life started changing... LITERALLY!! It was like I was looking at my life through a foggy window, and once I started reading and doing the homework it was like someone turned on the defroster. I made a big decision to get unstuck and move forward with my life. I started dreaming in a way Ive never dreamed before. I no longer worry about the how or the when; I simply let my imagination go wild with thoughts of what I want from my life without limits, and now have a plan of action to make it happen! In doing this Ive had so many amazing opportunities present themselves in ways that I otherwise may have overlooked or dismissed. This is more than just a bookits a POWERFUL tool to help you live your best life!
